    Rolleyes Fitting Traction Control - CAV CDX ECO

    I was wondering if it's possible to fit a traction control to a 1994 Cavalier CDX 2.0 16v? I've gone and bought myself a heated seat switch set and it came with the TC Button... I remember someone saying that the CDX was wired for EVERYTHING... Which is why I bought the heated seat switches as I plan to convert to heated leather. Were any 2.0 models made with TC or was it just the 2.5 V6? Cos' I have a problem with the wheels spinning as I change into 2nd gear and sometimes a bit in 3rd when booting it hard. This makes it unstable !!

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    if its got abs then you wont have too much of a problem, its just adding he control module to the abs system, not too sure if they fitted the wiring on all cdx's or was that cd's

    The CD was PRETTY Poverty spec unless it was a later one. The G-Reg CD I test ddrove before buying my M-reg CDX for much less than the CD =] Was basic... Not many toys at all...

    But back to the point... I know there are motors needed or something... And a different throttle body... I can't findd any more information on here because the people that have asked have been called stupid... lol... I aint stupid, I just wana Cavalier with all available toys, plus I want it to be safe on wet days (the X20XEV is CRAZZY when it gets wet).

    I haven't got the light for it, nor do I really want it but I just want the system to be there...

    Vectra
    The only cavalier that came with TC was the V6. If you had a C20XE instead of the X20XEV you may have been able to transplant the system out of an Astra GSi, but the eco engine has a completely different inlet and throttle to the redtop. Your only other option would be to transplant the entire ABS system from a 2.0 vectra, but I suspect that would be a lot more trouble than the end result would be worth.
